Russian Folk-Tales, Opening, part 10, sentence 122

Iván Tsarévich sat on the grey Wolf’s back, and the Wolf chased as fast as a dart and ran may-be far, may-be near, and at last he reached the kingdom of Tsar Afrón at night-time; and when he had come to the white-stoned stables of the Tsar, the grey Wolf said to Iván Tsarévich: “Get down, Iván, go into the white-stoned stables, and take the golden-maned horse; only there hangs a golden bridle on the wall which you are not to touch, or it will go ill with you.”

Who acts: Iván, Wolf, IVÁN, grey Wolf, bridle · What happens: sit, chase, run, be, reach, come · To what, where: kingdom, last, stoned stables, Iván, golden maned horse, golden bridle · Speech: someone speaks here
